1. Mr. H. P. Smith's art.Editorial Note: This is a reference to an article by Hanover P. Smith (H. P. S.) on page 5 of the April 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal. Titled “Atonement for Sin and Sickness,” it is a review of a book by Russell Kelso Carter (1849-1928), titled The Atonement for Sin and Sickness, or, A Full Salvation for Soul and Body. Carter, an American, was a prolific writer in a number of areas, both religious and secular. He was an advocate of faith healing, British Israelism, Christian Identity theology, and Serpent Seed theology. he wrote of his own motion perhaps. I have not seen the book he refers toEditorial Note: Russell Kelso Carter, The Atonement for Sin and Sickness, or, A Full Salvation for Soul and Body , except in his hands, & I thought perhaps you had wished him to do it, though he did not say so.
2. I do not know the Author of Systematic Study, p.6, or I shouldAs Written:shd have put a name above it.
3. Pp. 10 & 11. Questions, et ceteraAs Written:&c. The extract separates yourAs Written:yr 1st two answers, simply because there is only room for the question at the bottom of p. 10, & the question ought to not be separated from its answer. I might have avoided the difficulty by changing the order of the questions, but I put them in the order in which they came from you, which I did not feel at liberty to change.
— There is a line between your questions & mine, but it might have been heavier. I will hereafter omit J. H. W.'s, as they are only added to fill out a page, & answer somebody's question, whichAs Written:wch is perhaps unimportant.
— I was not aware that I had in any way changed the point of yourAs Written:yr own replies- Certainly I had not meant to do so.
4. P. 16. That mistake of Lam. for Sam. is very funny.
5. P. 19. It wouldAs Written:wd be better for you to mark out the passages in letters whichAs Written:wch you do not wish used.
The words extract et ceteraAs Written:&c couldAs Written:cd be easily added; but I cannot always tell whether the letter is to Mrs. Eddy or somebody else; unless that is implied by the word Teacher in the beginning. If you have read a letter, & left a passage, apparently to be printed, I have not felt at liberty to change it.
6. P. 26. Properly speaking the matter on this page belongs in the middle of the number, & was ready for that place; but through a mistake of the printer in reckoning one too As Written: to many advertising pages, we planned accordingly; but at the last gunfire on Wed. night he discovered his error in counting, & I had to find a page to make p. 26. If the covers had not been printed – with the table of contents – I shouldAs Written:shd have made him renumber the pages & put this page where it properly belonged, but I couldAs Written:cd not ask for so great an expense as a sacrifice of the covers. The reading on p. 26 is good, wherever it comes.
